Acceptance 

Anthony4 Comments

Pain comes in life

Second to none in strife

Wrecked like a cut from a knife.

Houses are not always homes 

A creep and crawl inside our tomes 

You  just experience it on your own.

Lack of cause can drive us mad

Thinking and wishing on what we had

Steadily reaching for nothing feels bad 

Circumstances don’t always make us glad…

The Hard Honest Truth 

AnthonyLeave a comment

Facts as they are 

Nothing but the truth

Lessons leave a scar.

–

I know it’s uncouth

But life is quite hard

You want some proof?

–

Well in this regard 

Look in the mirror

And look real hard.

–

Only then you’ll care

And make concessions

For life it will scare.

–

When applying its lessons

Many with some pain

Save your confessions.

–

For the criminally insane

You know yourself

Just use your brain.

–

For knowledge is wealth

The memories are here

No need for stealth.

–

Get your life in gear

Get off of your phone

Stop shedding your tears

–

Sabbatical out of your comfort zone

Challenge your every skill

Remember that you and you alone.

–

Can swallow the ‘red pill’

End all your strife

Using your sheer will.

–

Finally get a life

While you can

Find a new wife.

–

Lend a helping hand 

Share your mistakes

At will, your command.

–

Show that even when life breaks

And things go off unplanned

Doing all that it takes 

Only then, you’ll understand…

Imaginary Lovers, so it Seems

Anthony1 Comment

Did you exist

Were you real

You broke our tryst

With little appeal.

–

You unceremoniously were gone

With little more than “goodbye”

Feeling the loss I was thrust upon

Made me sigh and deeply cry.

–

I hope your new man is the best

Better than me, in the very least

If not, it’s your loss, I must confess

Since our fun exchanges ceased.

–

So many questions

Left unanswered

Infinite suggestions

Hurt my ego like a cancer.

–

In the end

You left me in the dark

Rather than a friend

You’re just a question mark…
